This is brutal, but sheds light on why my own documentation-heavy style doesn't catch on.

I get questions from people, which can be answered by searching my wiki and just finding the right page. I can see the number of pages visits with the wiki tool I use, so I am led to believe that I'd get a ton more questions if not for my wiki.

So what's the problem? I am just one person in my group. There's a couple hundred of us, and I don't think the next most documentation-heavy engineer is producing half of what I am. (Probably more like a quarter)

Which is a real shame. Part of why I produce so much documentation is that I've created by own tooling and processes which let me generate vast amounts of useful content on the fly, and quickly. I've got 100+ hours of dev work into one tool, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only user of that tool (although I give presentations on it from time to time). Think: A tool which looks up details about an environment, and then aggregates those details in markdown format (including links to dig in further). Copy > Paste > Save page > Done.
